| Since I'm already learning a Stand-up Art, I wanted to add some Ground-fighting for Self-defense. In case I go to the Ground I don't want to be helpless. Is it possible to learn just the most effective techniques, instead of the whole system. Like I don't need good-looking fancy stuff, that prolly wouldn't work in a street-fight, just the most-likely-2-work moves. Or would this request to an Instructor be denied, as Judo is Sport-oriented with rules and not Self-defense to destroy opponents. |

my advice to you would be to try a private brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson and tell the instructor you needs, it wouldn;t even cost much if you hired one of his advanced students, im sure they would tech you privately for cheap,
try a private, tell the guy you feel your ground combatives need work and he will create a lesson plan and work on it with you

You could also look for a seminar somewhere that covers what you're looking for. I don't know how easy it would be to find one, but seminars tend to be focused on select situations/techniques.
jiu-jitsu fighter's suggestion will probably work best.

This sounds like a good way to go. Who knows you may even start cross training if it really works out for you.

| I've found a Shootfighting School in my area which I will check out. Although I'm hoping that Ground Work will dominate, it looks like an All Round System. Has anybody heard of this Art or can refer a Website to look up. Giving me a hint if its strategy will conflict with Wing Chun would be nice. |

Shootfighting is mostly like training in a mixed martial art. Covers all empty hand ranges adequately. Some WC hand stuff might work with it, but the footwork and general movement is different from WC.
Shootfighting is really like training thaiboxing + jujutsu + wrestling all together. |
